Chelsea boss Antonio Conte has admitted he fears getting sacked before the end of his three-year contract at the Stamford Bridge.

The Italian boss joined the Blues last summer after leading Italy national team to the Euro 2016 in France, and has helped Chelsea to a comfortable stance in the Premier League despite having a slow start to life in England.

However, his predecessor Jose Mourinho who got sacked at the Stamford Bridge in 2015, has now warned that modern football does not guarantees job security for managers even if they win the league title.

Antonio Conte has now revealed he might not be able to continue to coach at the Stamford Bridge, saying:

‘I think in this type of modern football, it’s not easy to start a project and to be sure you will stay a long time in the same team. But honestly not only for me, for all coaches.

‘If you have the possibility to stay for many years in the same team, then you can work to improve your idea, to improve your players, but the result in football is very important.

‘We all know this, and we know it can happen, that one season, you can win the title, the next season you can go away.’

Mourinho stressed the idea after Claudio Ranieri was sacked from his position at Leicester City despite leading them to a historic Premier League title win last season.

Barcelona forward Neymar has revealed his ambitions to play in the Premier League, admitting desire to play under Pep Guardiola or Jose Mourinho.

The 25-year-old arrived at the Camp Nou in 2013 from Santos and has gone on to form a formiddable partnership with Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez in the deadly attack combo, but there were reports last summer that the Brazilian was considering his future at the Camp Nou, with suggestions of a move to the Premier League or Paris Saint Germain being in the offing.

Neymar in a recent interview with the Sun, confessed his love for the Premier League and even revealed his desire to play under Guardiola or Mourinho.

He said: “The Premier League is a championship that amazes me.

“I like the playing style and the teams. And who knows, someday, I would like to play at it, yes.

“I admire Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool — these are the teams that are always there fighting.
